Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This Site is Unfriendly to Stupid People

Which brings me to a question I've been meaning to ask for quite some time: What's so funny about penile decomposition?

(Okay, it could be "Dr. Rosycheeks", too. Which isn't neccesarily better)
 

Dr Rotwang!

Nothing.  And yes, it means "Rosycheeks"; why, I don't know, but Fritz Lang and Thea Von Harbou liked the name enough to use it for the mad scientist/wizard in Metropolis, back in 1926:


Now, as regards the Spanish version -- why not Rotguapo?
Dr Rotwang!

Now that's about the crappiest translation I've read since my teacher back in Primary school gave us a version of "Imagine". I love translation software. They are so much fun.

And why not Doctor Rotguarango? I dare you to translate that one. :P

No, actually "guarango" it's quite Uruguayan slang. It's like a mixture of dumb and rude. The kind of people who like to do tits jokes.

What would your mommy say if she heard you saying such misogynistic foolishness? Do you kiss your mommy with that pernicious mouth of yours Domino?:p

So atheists have been abused, treated badly by clergy or they\'re stupid.They\'re just being trendy because they can\'t understand The God Delusion because they don\'t have the education, plus they\'re just pretending to be atheists anyway. Pundit you\'re the one with a problem, terminal stupidity.

Quote from: William G. GruffDon't judge our social skills by your neurotypical standards! Expecting others to automatically conform to your NT behavior is, at best, highly insensitive. I'll have you know that a large number of gamers suffer from neurobiological pervasive developmental disorders, and are unable to determine what is socially acceptable. I'm sure tolerating stupid people comes easily to some, but for many gamers posting an appropriate reply on a message board or even taking a bath with soap and hot water can be a very stressful ordeal.


I almost barfed, laughing at this reply.:D :D :D :D

I am a brand spanking new grunt to this forum. I was courting this site for a few weeks now and was sold by dialouge by various members that sounded realistic and down to earth. I could imagine talking and getting along with people offline where I couldn't on other websites. I like discussing a hobby with people who have unique tastes, wide area of interests, and don't sound like an infomercial for a particular brand.

Couldn't find a better place to introduce myself. I look forward to discussions on this forum.

Glad to have you! If you're completely perfect and/or have a thick skin you should last quite a while. :)
